cruisin' on by

it's time to get into gear. a cushy tan seat with deep crimson interior trim to complement your shiny new wheels. people will hail to the chief as you cruise on by.

have some pi

some stools are circles, and some are squares, but this one is made of pi. it's easier to sit on than 3.14159.

willows

invite nature into your home with this zen-like willows print. a sanctuary might appear as you look into the botanical silhouettes. willow you take me home? natural-ly yes.

warning: biohazard ahead

would you like some e. coli? or maybe the flu, stomach ache or sore throat? how about an ulcer or some bad breath? these adorable stuffed diseases are perfect for the germaphile. my personal favorite is mono - with eyelashes like that, how could you resist a kiss?

apple bubbly

bubbles up! savor the effervescent flavors of fizzy fuji apple, sparkling meyer lemon or blood orange cranberry juice. chill for a refreshingly tart beverage. a perfect companion for your afternoon lunch on a bench at the park.

wine knot?

wine bottles stacking up in your pantry? don't know where to put the oversized magnum bottle? stylishly store your best reserve in this interlaced helix wine rack. wine knot?

clocky

"beep beep beep." snooze. ten minutes later "beep beep beep." snooze. another ten minutes go by. just can't bring yourself to get out of bed? well all you need is clocky. this alarm clock rolls away and hides when you hit snooze. it might just drive you crazy enough to get up.

fly, fly away

i love the peaceful, hopeful expression on this little girl's rosy face as she watches the little bird fly away to freedom. fly, fly away little birdie. hope you find what you're looking for . . .

happy chinese new year!

sweep your floors, clean your house and get ready to pig out in the new year. firecrackers explode, red envelopes abound and friends and family gather to celebrate. wear new red clothes to ward off evil spirits and bad luck. hope this little piggie brings you lots of good fortune and a great year. oink, oink.

bumblebees buzz for bubbles

delicate bumblebees buzz upon this dainty glass carafe. mix this concoction of jasmine, honey, vanilla bean with some H2O and wah-lah! you have yourself an indulgent bubble bath.

happy play-doh vday!

remember play-doh? the smell alone brings back many memories. little kids shouldn't be the ones having all of the fun. sprinkle some play-doh love on your friends. have a happy valentine's day!

kaleidoscopic bookcase

coffee table books might need to change their name. this kaleidoscopic pegged shelf will be a wonderful perch for all of your favorite books. with removable pegs and interchangeable colors, this bookcase could be a work of art in itself.

it's snowing polka dot socks!

brrrr, the snowflakes fall onto my nose as i'm building my hello kitty snowman. as cute as kitty is, i can't wait to go inside to soothe my cold feet and put on some soft, fuzzy warm socks (a vast contrast to tight boarding boots) and toast myself in front of the log fire. wouldn't it be nice if it were snowing polka dot socks!

apple of my eye

valentine's day is almost here
and what better way to spread the cheer?
show your friends a little affection
with this delectable 'apple of my eye' confection.

brusha brusha brusha

craving chocolate? indian curry? pumpkin pudding? why not brush your teeth? a dollop of these flavored toothpastes scrubs your teeth clean with aromatic essence. a dash of fresh, light, airy yogurt will dazzle your mouth. nope, it's not pinkberry, it's even better. and the best part - it's calorie free!

p.s. they have mouthwash too!

this is not a post

walk on puffy white clouds. look up to the sky to gaze at a busy freeway. time will be transfixed when you step into the baldessari's installation of the magritte exhibit at lacma. everything is not what it seems. if you opt for the audio tour, let pierce brosnan's dreamy voice sweep you away *sigh*.

chew-wow

balsamic vinegar, pasilla chili and ginger ganache - ingredients in your appetizers and entree? nope, these are some of the ingredients that are showcased in chuao's chocolates (pronounced chew-wow). and wow they are. strawberry caramel with balsamic vinegar may sound unusual, but the flavors deliciously marry together and dance upon your tongue.

post this!@#?*

!@#$% where was that page again??? where was that quote i liked again?!? where was that article i *wanted* to read??? oh, here it is!!! what better way to express yourself (grammatically) than with these oversized punctuation stickies.

little miss beanie

what drew me to this item was not the adorable celery green beanie, but the precious face of this little girl. innocent and naive, sometimes i wish i could go back to being like that.

functional drinks

in need of some afternoon recharge, i came across this function 'brainiac' drink at famima. carambola, aka star fruit, gave this drink a slightly different punch while a cornucopia of biomedical compounds (phosphotidyl serine anyone?) titrated the juice with an unusual 'flavor'. this just might be your cure for dys-'function'.
